- čas přidán 19. 05. 2022
- Twice a year we host a special weekend in the Ozark National Forest for our Patreon supporters. This weekend we had a great mix of Jeep Wranglers, Gladiators, Toyota 4 Runners, a Tacoma and a new Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch with us. It was a great weekend watching how each rig performed but one didn't make it home.

I'm glad you guys are open about all the brands and not dissing certain brands. So many people do that now a days. Every vehicle will have issues at some point.
People these days only see in black and white, and have to like apples, or oranges, but not both. It drives me crazy!
@@lunamaria1048’ve never heard it put that way and I like it!
I hate watching people like that, all these Vehicles are beast!
Definitely the first pre-trail prayer I've ever seen on any overlanding channel. Much respect my friend.
Much appreciated
Well I've seen the way Matt drives. Probably a good idea.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures dont thrash thru mud or water, use a blind if deep. steady speed. turn fans off..15 psi.or less. dont buy ifs 4x4rs..less lectrics the better..sensors. 1 shts, you walk.. allways,,use lockers. dont get stuk then turn them on.. watch 24/7 4wd, for what not,,to do.. were in a registered club,with trainers..

Didn’t help that Bronco.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME EVENT GUYS, so much fun. Thanks for sharing
Wow, you weren't playing around with the trails this time. Fun fun!
Thankyou for sharing!
The more I watch your videos the more I realize you're a good guy, not just someone who makes off road videos. That's awesome! We need more good people in the world! I once heard someone say "we have a character crisis in the world". It's true.
WOW! Thanks so much!!
I love how excited you where for your wife and kid to be there. Makes me even more glad I found your channel.
It was a great weekend! Great times and great people!!
Awesome video! We were in the Ozarks last week (6-13 June). Absolutely gorgeous area! That Waterfall was one of my favorite sites.
So good to see the Delta 4Runner back on the trails!
Awesome video and great way to give back to your supporters.
Great job on those trails. Looked like a lot of fun.
Awesome video!!!! Can’t wait to go on one of these trips!!!
Meeting in that mud is no joke your a good teacher much respect!
Way to go guy’s, wish I was there. Looks beautiful.
Such an awesome weekend!! I'm ready to do it again!! Met some new people and hung out with some old friends. Thanks for putting this on Matt and Cara!!
That was a lot of fun…good job!
GREAT VIDEO..... LIFE CHANGING!!
Love the vids. Keep up the great content🙂👍
I always love seeing a variety of off road vehicles congregating for the sake of being outdoors. I like Jeeps myself but everyone has something that's good for themselves.
Agree, I'm a Jeep guy too (here in India I have a diesel JK) but I also appreciate Toyotas and Fords. I just hope the 4x4 community does not have brand wars.
Looks like a good time!
Wow, how cool. It looks like so much fun.
I am so happy to see that you allowed anyone with any build to come. I took a Bronco to a Jeep group just to experience and hang out. They treated me so poorly that I left and never went on the drive. I haven’t gone to a posted get together since. I even got ride of the Bronco for the small Bronco sport because only driving on roads and didn’t need the geared up Bronco. This is something I really want to get into but I haven’t found a community that accepts everyone. I will try again in a few years but bless you your family and group.
That is so sad!!! It should not be that way.
Kind of surprised I’ve wheeled with a lot of Dif groups bronco jeep Toy never had a problem hope you find a good group don’t give up most fun I’ve had was taking my wrangler out with XJ group those guys are crazy great drivers and can fix anything
the ozarks look awsome, Great video
This looks like so much fun 😊❤️
Your content is always top-notch. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Very nice what you do , best regards from Europe !
Whoever the dude is in "The Other Group", he gets super excited just like me! hahaha I'm always pumped when people make it up a tough obstacle, I'm cheering and everyone else is all calm like, "this is boring". I need to hang out with that guy!
I so enjoy watching this video. lots of water crossing. Nice!
Thank you very much!
Would love to go on this trail
Someday. Use to live up there and miss those Arkansas back roads!
You are SO cool! I really enjoy this and especially the prayer. Rev
Awesome video!
Looks like so much fun!!
Definitely need to check this spot out.
Never realized there were so many rivers in Arkansas. They do maintain those trails really good too
These trails where so dope. Love these vdo
Appreciate it!
Great video and I love that before you guys engage in off-roading you have prayer. Keep enjoying life and giving God the Glory!
This is the first video I’ve seen with his faith on display. My first thought was “I knew it”.
Amazing video amazing ppl thanks matt
Very Cool Ride! We have to meet up again sometime on one of these!
Wow that was so cool! That trail doesn't look easy, I was sweating at times watching lol
22:00 That Bronco 3 wheeled beautifully! I want one!!
Great video! I now have a diesel heater thanks to Y'all. Can't wait to use it over Christmas at HaHaTonka
Epic trails! love it
I honestly watched this video to see how the Bronco performed. Very interesting to see the alternator placement in a vehicle that's touted as being designed for off-road use.
To be fair the max water line for the Bronco is roughly in line with the top of the bumper. When he hit that mud hole he was significantly deeper than that water line. Sucks none-the-less but I put this on driver error. Perhaps a little slower entry might not have yielded a failed alternator.
@@MattButlerAL this actually lead me to a question (or two!!) other than sealing up the engine bay and given the "newness" of the Bronco, is there a way to relocate the alternator and/or protect it from water-related failure?
Second question: in your opinion, does the Bronco provide anything superior to a similarly appointed Jeep or Toyota?
@@ericwright3646 I don't have any experience with a Toyota so I can't point to anything specific other than maybe certain angles and measurements. The Bronco does have some specific off-road tools that are unique. I.e. a front diff that can be locked independently of the rear, disconnecting sway bar under load, etc. As for Jeep in comparison to pure off road prowess a similarly equipped jeep will likely perform better mainly due to the extra flex you get with solid axles. But you pay for that with higher speed off road driving and on-road manners. For clarity I owned a 2001 Wrangler and currently own a Bronco Badlands the Sasquatch package.
This is a known problem that plagues the 2.7L.
@@ericwright3646 Ford actually makes a shield for it now. Getting mine installed this week
Nice job with the footage. The drone shots were great. Tread Lightly
Thanks 👍
Great cars and Ride
So encouraging to see you open with prayer.
Had a great time and learned a lot...
Like don't be afraid to take the bypass.
Can't wait to try out my when it's built
I loved this video. I would enjoy camping in the Ozarks. But honestly cannot afford to do the technical trails. I went through my days of off road vehicle maintenance years ago. I spent the weekend in water and mud, and the week doing maintenance on my Blazer I had at the time. But this is fun to watch now. When my budget allows, I want to become a patron to OOA and hopefully Matt can put me on some easy scenic stuff. 😊
Praying before y’all lead out !!! What !? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 that is so awesome and so stand up in the world today ! This is exactly why I love following this channel ! On 1-23-2017 I gave my life to Jesus and I am not ashamed and so did my wife Sara ! A year later my wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and it’s been devastating to her. After that it’s payed heavy on me and one thing I found was she liked camping and so did I. I liked four wheeling as well. So I found this little place called red river gorge in Kentucky. We made one trip down for a weekend and I watched her face flood with joy. After that I started outfitting my 2019 Chevy trail boss with a topper and a roof top tent and some 35’s. The kids and her absolutely enjoyed it. Then I found another channel called Coddiwomple overland. I binge watched Bill and Debs videos of everywhere they went and got ideas of places to go. At some friends of ours reveal at wildcat off-road park I met Bill and Deb for the first time and enjoyed their friendship so much. Then I went and took my wife to a fall back the byway clean up ride for the DBBB. There I met up with Bill, Deb and Kelly ( power wagon Kelly ) and we got to join their group for the ride. Since then we’ve all became great friends. Now I’m in the process of starting to outfit our 2022 gladiator. Because this is something we definitely intend to want to keep doing more of for a long time. I’ve recently ran into little issue with death wobble and trying to track it down. With just over 11k miles it’s confusing me but I’m sure I’ll track it down. I love the gladiator and it’s drove like a Cadillac until now. The friends we’ve made and the places we’ve seen away from all the tourists has helped her in so many ways. And all the while I’ve tried to use it as part of a ministry as well. But the most therapeutic part of it all is how it has helped my wife. God has sustained her MS and is still letting her enjoy life. I don’t know for how long but I’m making the best of it we possibly can. God bless you and please don’t ever stop giving him the glory and thanks he deserves. It will always get a like from me.
Thank you so much for sharing that!!
Noticed your 1 John 4:10 tat in another video. Cool to see y’all praying before going out in this one. I’m not an “overlander”, I adventure new and wild places through hunting and fishing mostly. It’s cool to see a different way of how y’all get out, and that you truly enjoy it. The wife and I would love to tag along with you in my trail boss someday!
That's a heck of a turnout and that looks so dang fun. That trail at 43:25 is true test lol
Great video Great trails Great footage you are just a Great Dude. I love how you give back to your supporters. I loved this video. >---
I appreciate that!
Hey Matt. Love all your videos. I’ve got a totally off topic question. In all your Jeep years, have you ever had the “ ticking” valve train rocker arm failure that so many other people have had esp on the 3.6 pentastar?
It was an amazing weekend and an amazing group of people. The kids, dogs and I feel really blessed to have been a part of it. The video lives up to the hype! Thanks Matt, Kara, John, and Robert for having us!
New subscriber within minutes of watching this! God bless
Awesome! Thank you!
The hair is cool asf bro u rocked it 😂💚🤙🏽
Warms my heart to see you guys praying. Amen!
I had a 17 JKU and I wanted/needed a truck I traded it for a Tacoma, the next year the Gladiator came out. I was still upside on my loan, when I was in the green prices shot up to 60k+ for a JT. I like my taco but I want to be in the jeep platform again. They wheel so much better off road. So soon as I can afford one im trading up! :)
Loved the video. This is one of my favorite ones. How do you choose which patreons get to go on these trips?
We do a signup list and the first 15 to sign up get to come.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures So the same ones could come every time if they are the fastest to get on a computer. That doesn’t give people that aren’t around a computer all the time to have a chance. I am sure most of your patreon supporters would love to go on one of these runs but some of them will never have a chance.
This is our third time to do this and that hasn’t happened yet. On this one only 3 had been before.
What rack does the Bronco have on the rear tire? Looks pretty handy.
It was really nice to see a prayer in this video. We need more of that in general. Thank yall so much for what you do and spreading such a positive message.
@Nathan Anderson I respect that! It was just nice to see.
My daughter was recording and I didn't know she recorded it until I got home and was editing the video. I was glad to have it to put in.
Where is that camp spot? Looks great and need the size for oir up comming trip
What brand cargo carrier is that in the Bronco spare tire?
Been watching for a while. Haven't commented yet but Matt, respect to you brother for the quality of character.
Thank you so much!!
Subscribed. Would love to see a Unimog out there!
Thanks! Me too!! LOL
We would love to join you on one of these trips.
Thank you for sharing your faith by showing the prayer. Looks like it was a good time for all.
Great video 👍 and subscribed :-)
Awesome thank you!
Great video!
Where did you get that a scriddle?
www.tyor.life
Hello Matt, love your videos, where did you get your griddle at, the one you we’re using on the jetboil Genesis.
tyor.life/pages/skriddle
Thank you
Hello Matt, I just got a message on my e-mail about a give-a-way and I wanted to double check to see it was you that sent it.
Where is the spare tire rack on the bronco available from?
Appears you are using GMRS for communications. Curious what channel do you folks use in your part of the country?
Great video
We use various channels depending on traffic. Usually between 16 and 22.
Big Iron Overland Rally!!!!!
Man i sure wish i could join you folks sometime. But currently i own a 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade. She needs a lot of work. But living on disability doesn't give me much money to fix her up the way i would like. Staying Safe Everybody.
Not the first time I’ve seen a bronco die on a steep incline. The other one I saw was low on fuel and sucked air into the fuel line.
Alternator problem in 2.7 only ford can solve that
@@hotrod7603 they already did it on the ranger, why the heck did they not think of this for the bronco? All vehicle alternators should be at the top ESPECIALLY OFF-ROAD VEHICLES.
Where do you get the sgriddle from. I cannot find them online
Tyor.life
Did the 4Runner even attempt that mud hole? I have a Bronco V6 with a 3" lift on 37s, but I'm not fond of extremely deep mud. My rule of thumb, if it goes over the hood, then bypass it, LOL. Guess I'll be keeping an eye open for a better aftermarket alternator that is water resistent..
The 4Runners did not. If you watched my High Water Mark movie from a couple months ago that’s the same mud hole that killed the 4Runner in that video.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Ouch. I didn't realize that was the same one.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures we didn’t take my 4 runner down that trail … John and I both drove my Jeep at different times, but I don’t think I would have had trouble in the hole if I stayed in the center. After all a Jeep on 35’s got through and the ifs does better in deep ruts than the solid front axle.the only reason the 4 runner had an issue before was because I tipped sideways trying to avoid the limb. If I had stayed straight, I would have been fine.
Just killed my bronco this weekend doing this. Can you confirm it was the alternator and not another fuse or something?
Matt. What are the new tires you are running? Do you like them?
We got to Albert Pike area last week. Fantastic overlanding. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I have the new Milestar Patagonia MT02 and I love them!! The new 02 version is supposed to fix the fast wear on pavement issue is the previous version had.
Matt what size did you get on those tires?
@@dfwoverland 38 13.50 r17s.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures what size/brand on the rims? Where did you get the patagonia’s. Do you have a code so I can get you a referal?
I have been hearing the placement on the alternator has been a problem on the 2.7 liter broncos . Ford missed the mark on that one
And apparently slow to ship new ones to the dealership.
Yep, big issue. My brother’s bronco kicked the bucket due to water getting near the alternator. However the water was well below the fording depth that’s advertised by ford. Luckily the warranty covered the issue and we haven’t run into the same issue yet.
I think it more on the alternator than the placement.
I'm always been a fan of s 4 runner, but haven't really see much in technical trails, but got a chance to see it in action more often on this channel and begining to like even more. It's a bit hard on gas and has bad mileage but the V6 with 5 gear in it is a proven engine. But I, heard the next gen 4 runners gonna change engine into hybrid with 4 cylinders, 275 hp and 317 lbs-ft of torque. I'm not a big fan of hybrid, cause it's heavier, not very prectical with charging ( it took several hours) but you can used it all up within an hour. Jeep Hybrid got so many issues. Seen lots of complain in CZcams. The recon-edition with extreme package was a game changer for the Jeep. Those who missed out are the unfortunate one's in ny humble opinion. For off roading I'm not a fan of hybrid, I prefer diesel instead of petrol (gas). That's my humble opinion. Americans you love gas more than diesel for off roading, touring, overlanding, but the rest of the world prefer diesel. Some pros of diesel is they're cheaper, diesel engine got more torque or easier to get more torque of it by doing a little modifications here and there, easier to carry, more ideal even for very hot weather or climate conditions.
Diesel has it's advantages for sure but it's a lot more expensive here in the US. I agree about the Xreme Recon package on the Wranglers. We love ours!
That's why I got a 3rd gen 4Runner. Can buy a LOT of gas with the $50k or so I saved by not buying a 5th Gen.
@@rangerdoc1029 3rd gen 4Runners are my favorites. Extremely capable and that 3.4 will go forever with scheduled maintenance.
any 4x4 with ifs..dont buy.
@@harrywalker968 IFS is pretty good for long distance touring, dirt roads with moderate challenges, it is good for towing. Solid axel is good, but IFS has it's uses in the overlanding world as well. Just got to be bit careful on your trail selection. You can have a bad day out in the trail even in upgraded solid axels 4x4s..
Do you like the rooftop tent or the hammock tent more?
My hardshell RTT is so fast to set up and so comfortable to sleep in that I find myself not using my hammock any more.
I don't own single one of the vehicles shown in the video and I'm pissing my pants here, especially at the shark rocks part of the trail lol
surprisingly the black gladiator kept getting stuck it looked like one of the most built cars there.
7:36 and THAT is why I don't want to go wheeling in the Ozarks. Some people love mud, but I don't. To each their own.
Finally a 2 door 😎
no Ben or Nathan
great set of trails
@Nathan Anderson it looked like it was a good one
What’s the average tire size on these rigs in the video?
35s probably
Where are this trial located?
Ozarks in Arkansas.
How do you deal with off roading scratches ?
I just embrace them. It's not a battle worth fighting.
be glad your kid reads. hey where is the zr2 from earlier videos? btw kinders is right down the road from me.
It had major issues. He sold it and got a Jeep.
Seems like in every off road group there's always a Tacoma that seems like they shouldn't be having such an easy time lol
Link to that griddle ? lol
Everybody all of the sudden an offroading expert
Huh? Not sure what that’s in reference to. 🤷🏼♂️
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I'm referring to the people in the comments. The comments are pretty good on this video but on some of others and other offroading videos the commenters that have never been offroading, never will and don't even own a 4x4 mysteriously know exactly what you doing wrong and how to do it right and which vehicle they've never owned or driven is the best.
@@GT-43 ahhh. Gotcha. Yeah that happens all the time. Lol.
What is the tire of choice?
MTs for sure in the Ozarks
yer tires looked like they weren't aired-down?
15psi
What trails are these ?
A mix of forest service trails
We we get a quick summary of the vehicles: what model 4Runner, how did it do? How about the taco, what model? How did it do?
I don't know if this helps, but I think the 4runners were a trd off roads, and the tacoma looked like an sr5 version. The 4runners look heavily modded the tacoma has add ons.
What do do in off season%?
We have no off season.
